Chapter 206: Fighting the Huns

After learning that the Xiongnu army was attacking, Zhang Chen summoned the Huangfu Song tribe to attack.

The Huns had no sense of formation at all, and they just rushed over with their 1,300 to 400 men.

As for Zhang Chen, in addition to the two dozen personal guards around Zhang Chen and Zihe, they were Huangfu Song's troops.

Huangfu Song's troops were organized according to the regular Han army in the imperial court. There were 1,500 cavalry and 3,500 infantry, including 1,000 light cavalry and 500 heavy cavalry. The so-called heavy cavalry But they are not armored cavalry. This technology did not appear until the Song Dynasty. Heavy cavalry soldiers were equipped with crossbows and short swords, and their armor was also very thick. Among the 3,500 infantry, there were crossbowmen, archers, and spearmen. , five hundred each for halberdier and shield-bearers, and one thousand ordinary infantry.

The large number of military units illustrates the difficulty of forming such a force. From recruiting soldiers, buying horses, refining weapons and equipment to training, daily expenses, the salary of the entire battalion of 5,000 people, etc., the long-lost Han Dynasty They were overwhelmed, so they had to disarm, and now only two troops, Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song, were left.

While the Xiongnu soldiers were still looking for traces of the Han army, Huangfu Song's troops hurriedly gathered together. Even if they faced an enemy with less than half of their own strength, they would not relax their vigilance. They formed a battle formation in the open space in front of the camp and waited. With the Huns soldiers.

"Lord Toori, look! The Han army is already waiting in front to be trampled by our warriors of the Sirius God!" Lord Yiqu rode his horse to a slightly higher slope surrounded by soldiers. Go up and said to Takashi Tori who was standing beside you.

"Haha, these Han dogs really don't know how high the sky is! Come on, my warriors! Kill!" Because of the cover of trees, they couldn't see how many people there were in the entire Han army. The conceited Toshi Takaya didn't care about the enemy's reality. , and ordered the attack.

"Oh!~" "Ah~!" After Toshitaka gave the order, the Huns in his Thousand Cavalry Team all screamed and rushed out of the forest, rushing towards the direction pointed by Toshitaka's sword.

The chaotic sound of horse hooves gradually came closer, and the ground trembled a little under the shaking of thousands of cavalry.

"The enemy is coming! Don't panic! Order the shield soldiers to raise their shields to defend! The archers draw their bows and shoot arrows!" Huangfu Song commanded the army and asked the flag soldiers on the side to raise the corresponding flags.

The shield soldiers placed a large shield as tall as a person on the ground, forming a shield wall. Each shield soldier used their body to firmly fix the shield.

The sight of the archers was blocked, but it didn't matter. In the usual training and the battles of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, they could already distinguish the distance of the enemy by listening to the sound, and they began to set up their bows and shoot arrows.

At the same time, the Huns were also throwing spears, and there were even more horsemen and archers.

The arrows and javelins from both sides flew over the open space between the two armies, killing the soldiers on both sides.

"Ah!" A Hun soldier who was rushing forward was shot in the chest. He screamed and fell off his horse. Before he was completely dead, he was trampled into a pulp by his fellow soldiers behind him.

This was also one of the few people who died from an arrow. The Han army's arrow feathers could only serve as a deterrent, but the hit rate was astonishingly low.

"Thum...thum...kick..." There was a muffled sound, which was the sound of spears and arrows hitting the big shield. The impact challenged the shield soldiers' physical strength again and again.
